Karen is phenomenal! She spoke at Beaches Rotaract in front of over 50 young professionals about their different communication styles and on leading with empathy in business. Everyone is still talking about her and I know I've skipped years of trial and error from her wisdom!

Star stage presence, wise, engaging and presents information that is easy to digest and remember, Karen is fantastic! I had the pleasure of listening to Karen present twice for the Rotaract Club of Jacksonville Beaches and safe to say I'd love to listen to her a third (and fourth, etc)! Karen spoke on the importance of knowing ourselves and those around us better to improve connection -I had no idea about the four behavior types of people! All of the insights and tips were awesome. Thanks a lot Karen!

Working with Karen in one of her Mastermind Groups, with its emphasis on DISC, has helped me to better recognize the communication styles of my clients, and team members allowing me to better serve their needs. As a bonus, I’ve been able to apply these same concepts to better communicate with my wife as well as other family members.I strongly feel that Karen’s leadership and the insights of my fellow group members were instrumental in helping me to reassure and guide my clients through a tumultuous year.

Karen has been an excellent coach to me and my business in many ways, many times. Most recently, I took her Buyer Signals Workshop, and I used not for sales but for recruitment. It helped me make a hire that’s a great fit for our high-performing team, and the fact that I could use the material in this way shows how versatile and useful it is. Thanks, Karen!

Karen Nutter has been my business coach for many years and has helped me to work ON my business as well as IN my business. Last week I took a workshop with her on buyer signals. The skills that she passed along in that class are invaluable. She has given me tools to help every personality type with the style, vocabulary and understanding that will help me, help my customers. Karen's knowledge, professionalism and delivery is all top notch. I encourage everyone in the business world to consider taking this workshop. These are not just business skills, these are life skills that Karen has given me. Karen, I cannot thank you enough!

Karen is one of a kind. I had the privilege of recently attending her Buyers Signals workshop. There were so many great takeaways in just a couple short hours. By implementing her techniques I made a sale (within a week of attending the workshop). Karen is compassionate and truly cares about helping people maximize their potential. I would highly recommend everyone attend her workshops.

Karen Nutter’s mastermind group helped me recognize DISC styles at work with, and between my peers. Our different styles helped us get feedback from all perspectives. We bonded and also became more accountable to each other throughout the year. With Karen’s guidance and advanced facilitation skills, she was able to support our growth as successful business owners. She let nothing slip in our communication and participation within the group. This made for great group dynamics.

Karen has been a game changer for me personally in helping me identify and understand my emotions and the impact they have on my relationships personally and professionally.The CBK Certified DISC Facilitator training has enabled me to assess my leaders and help them understand themselves as well as how they can interact with one another and our clientele. In addition to that, as I grow my coaching practice, the assessment tool has afforded me the opportunity to reach and help more people than I could have ever imagined. I am forever grateful to Karen!

Karen is a wonderful soul and she knows what she is talking about! I took a class with her and the Artifex Gutter installation team did as well; since we took her class our sales have more than doubled and we are booked into the middle of April! Thank you Karen for making us comfortable and teaching us new ways to talk to people in order to make them more comfortable as well. We all can’t wait to find out even more!

I met Karen at a networking event. After being reluctant to pay for coaching over the years, she has helped me organize my daily routine and focus what is important and what is not. Highly recommended, cause we all need a little bit of help!

Karen came to PS27 Ventures during our Leadership Week and gave a presentation on emotional intelligence. Our staff learned the importance of managing tasks to work toward overall goals. Karen also touched on improving mind-body connection through meditation, showing a genuine curiosity for others well-being and being able to sense emotions effectively and apply them to collaboration. The presentation was interactive and memorable!

I have been going to Coaching by Karen for almost 5 years now, and besides all the of the growth I've experiencied not in just my personal life but in my career as well, she is the most down to earth, relateable woman I have ever met. She has a demeanor that can put the most restless mind at ease and is always there to help. She offers great classes from management courses through EQ (emotional intelligence) to personal classes and workshops on past present and future situations. If you are curious or even feel the need for a little direction I would HIGHLY recommend Coaching by Karen!

I met Karen a few years back at a conference. She was a featured speaker, and I truly felt she was speaking directly to me. Soon after, I met with her for some coaching. I knew I needed a change in career, and Karen helped me figure out exactly what that change should look like. I have been working with her ever since. Karen keeps me motivated, gives helpful hints, and sincerely wants to see me succeed. I could not imagine being a business owner without her support and guidance!

Her book on emotional intelligence, "The Power of EQ: Stronger Leadership through Emotional Intelligence" has made a huge difference in my life. If you're looking for a REAL coach, call Karen.
